After learning that Port Authority board member David Mack failed to answer any of the Attorney General’s questions, Gov. David Paterson’s office late last night announced that it was pulling his nomination. And that’s not all:

“Late this afternoon we learned that David Mack failed to cooperate with an investigation led by the Attorney General’s office related to the State Police.

“Tonight, we have reached out to Mr. Mack to inform him that we intend to withdraw his nomination to the board of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and to inform him that we would like him to resign from all other government related appointments.”
